The warmer ocean water that flows south from the tropics mostly affects the ice shelves around the Antarctic Peninsula.
The Antarctic Bottom Water -- a natural phenomenon produced by the extreme cold -- is the most dense of all ocean waters, given its high saline content: 34.65%. Because warm water weighs less than cold water, the surface waters flow over the colder, more dense water.
Wherever the warmer water flows under the ice shelves, these shelves are beginning to disintegrate from below.
What else can I help you with?
Do dugongs live in Antarctica?
No, the dugongs require warmer water and could not survive in the bitter cold of Antarctica.
How do krills live in such a cold place like antarctica?
Krill are a sea animal and live in water, which is their natural habitat. Water remains liquid to about 28-32 degrees F. The ambient temperature in Antarctica is generally colder, but since the krill live in the warmer water, the extreme cold of Antarctica has no effect on them.
Can you explain how to properly adjust the hot and cold taps to achieve the desired water temperature"?
To adjust the water temperature, turn the hot tap for warmer water and the cold tap for cooler water until you reach the desired temperature.
What are Antarctica's water conditions?
Cold.
What is one reason that room temperature water boils faster than cold water?
Room temperature water boils faster than cold water because it is closer to the boiling point, requiring less energy to reach that point. Cold water must first be heated to room temperature before it can reach the boiling point, delaying the process.
What is The rising of cold water from deeper layers to replace warmer surface warmer surface water?

Can you explain how to adjust the temperature of the water using the hot and cold spigot?
To adjust the water temperature, turn the hot spigot for warmer water and the cold spigot for cooler water. Find the right balance by adjusting both spigots until you reach the desired temperature.
Can humans swim in antarctica ocean?
no you can not swim in the Antarctica ocean because the water is very cold you can probally die swimming in the water because its so cold.
Is the water always cold in Antarctica?
The Southern Ocean that surrounds Antarctica can support liquid water temperatures to about 27 degrees F, below which the water is frozen. You can decide if this makes the water 'cold'.
The water around antarctica is very cold?
Yes.
What did shacklaton drink in antarctica?
icy cold water
How cold antarctica is cold?
If liquid, the salt water may be as cold as 27 degrees F, because of the minerals in the water.
